Hungary is prepared to pay its Russian gas bills in roubles, Hungarian President Viktor Orban says, highlighting the difficulties the West will have in levying economic penalties on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
"We don't have any problem with it," said Orban. "If the Russians want roubles, then we'll pay in roubles."
The next gas payment is due in May. Orban said security of supply is his main priority.
